UnMade: Honor Loyalty Redemption
Summary
With foreword by Zac Stuart-Pontier, producer of Crimetown for Bobby Walason, the turning point in his life began when he was thrown out of his house at age 12. It was also the best moment in his short life. Forced to survive on his own, with no friends or family to turn to, his determination drives him without the benefit of a moral compass. Finding shelter in the basement of a Providence, Rhode Island inner city housing project, sleeping in an abandoned cardboard box, he tries to stay hidden from the world. Finding solace in the Olneyville Boys Club, where he learns to box, discovers a physical strength beyond his age, and hones an ability to fight. His ability to absorb punishment, forged under the fists of his brutal father, earns him a reputation for toughness. A toughness which built a powerful street reputation, enhanced in prison, drawing the attention of organized crime. This the story of the horrific life of a 12-year-old boy, enduring abuse no child should ever face, the lure of organized crime, descent into the brutal and violent world of a feared mob enforcer, and the power of resilience Bobby Walason unmasks the false patina of Organized Crime, finding a way to leave the life; alive, without spending life in prison, and without disappearing into the invisibility of the witness protection program. Turning from a life of brutality to the world of business, Bobby builds a successful life as an entrepreneur. This story casts a light onto the ebb and flow of the dark side of American society; a look at the forces that play havoc with the lives that go adrift on the streets of all our cities. And how one man found a way out against staggering odds.

Success Momentum
Summary
It’s so easy to get lost in the day-to-day grind of life and lose the momentum you had built for success.

Emotional momentum: We’ll also discuss how you build an emotional momentum that creates and maintains a healthy self-image for success. Creative momentum: We’ll present techniques for how to build creative momentum so that you’ll easily be able to envision what success means to you and how to achieve it. Financial momentum: Finally, this book will give you techniques to build financial momentum so that you will achieve the abundance of resources you need to keep your dreams afloat. If you’re ready to take the bull by the horns and take your place among the indomitable citizens of our species on this planet, this book will show you how to kick life in the pants and take no prisoners as you use the momentum you’ve built in each area of your life to achieve your ultimate success. The success you achieve will benefit your family, community, city, nation, and ultimately, the human race as a whole. You’ll learn specific techniques to identify how you can eliminate inefficiency in managing your daily schedule, how to boost your energy by effectively integrating exercise and good food choices into your diet, and how to build relationships based on trust and kindness and eliminate negative social influences. You also learn how to eliminate negative self-talk and use positive affirmations to help build your self-esteem. We’ll also discuss specific techniques, like daydreaming, that can help build your creative momentum. And, we’ll talk about the specific techniques to build financial momentum - for instance, instead of putting effort into a second job, you can use that same effort to create passive income streams. These are just a few examples of what you’ll learn in this book. So, if you’re feeling dissatisfied with how your life has turned out, the techniques we discuss in this book can help you turn that around to create exactly the life you always saw yourself living, back when you had a great momentum going. But, what do we mean by momentum? Well, one way to think about momentum is that it’s the energy produced by a moving object. In your life, you’re the moving object, and so you should be gaining energy as you move. But, if you’ve become stagnant, not only are you not moving, you’re not building momentum, and instead, you’re losing energy. This book can help you change that, and once you get going, you’ll find that the momentum you build will help the going get easier.

Man's Search for Meaning
Summary
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945, Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning") - holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in 24 languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the 10 most influential books in America.
